About

Yolanda Pang, Designer & Owner of Poetic Designs

My creative soul searching journey started back in 2007 when I left the clothing industry after 20 years of service as designer, creative director and merchandising manager. I began experimenting with various mixed media, and altered arts, and eventually created my first collection of vintage inspired jewellery under the brand name 'Poetic Designs' . My work has since received many great reviews and had won the MacDonald Porter Dree Special Award in 2010 at the Toronto Cabbagetown Arts & Crafts Show.

I enjoy designing and creating vintage inspired story pieces with a modern and romantic touch. I love repurposing and reclaiming old found objects by using various techniques such as wiring, beading, wrapping, decoupaging, and painting.

As an artist, I tend to find inspiration from my own travels and life experiences as well as from historical novels and stories behind those lost and found objects. Every single piece of my jewellery is created to tell a story and to evoke the poet in us....
